How can I remove dust from antique doll clothing?
I have a pre-WWII Japanese Geisha doll that is fixed to her stand. She and her clothing were hand made, and I want to restore her. She is covered in dust, and it's making the colors look faded on her kimono. I've used a makeup brush(bought new just for this project) and a can of air to remove most of it, but there is still a lot that I can't get. Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging her?
When I was much younger my parents did a lot of crafting with stained glass. One of their projects was to make a display case for a doll just like you described, which my uncle owned. Once the case was made my mom had the chore of cleaning the doll before it was enclosed in the case.
Back then the cosmetic brush was available but the canned air was not so my mom used an infants nasal aspirator (the blue bulb thing used to clean the mucus out of an infants nose when they have a cold.) I seem to recall that this worked quite well. For the really hard to reach areas my mom purchase a contour eye shadow brush. The bristles were stiffer then a regular eye shadow brush, and the whole shape was kind of like a wedge. The bristles at one end were shorter then the bristles at the other end.
I am also thinking that a tiny stencil brush might work, but only if the fabric of the dolls clothing is in really good shape.
Good Luck
